Act 41 Dream 3 - Mars Dream

As the Dream arc's third chapter, this installment sends the Inner guardians to a Dead Moon Circus show, where Rei is drawn into the Mirror House and ambushed by PallaPalla and Tiger's Eye. Her salvation comes when Phobos and Deimos entrust her with the Mars Crystal and her fresh attack, Mars Flame Sniper.

Realizing that Pegasus had been seeking Usagi rather than her, Chibiusa flees in tears, and Pegasus comes to console her, kissing her and briefly taking human shape before he disappears. In Elysion, Helios sits caged and tormented by Nehellenia while the Dead Moon Circus plots. Rei, meanwhile, wrestles with doubt about her future as a priestess as she covers for her ailing grandfather at Hikawa Shrine and studies at T.A. Girls' Academy, recalling the day she first met Phobos and Deimos. She and her friends decide to attend the circus's opening.

At the show the guardians split up, Rei heading to the mirror house while the rest enter the main tent, where the exit vanishes and the audience, Mamoru included, falls under hypnosis. Surrounded by reflections urging her to abandon her duties, Rei resists but cannot transform and is wounded, and PallaPalla sends Tiger's Eye in his beast form to finish her. Outside, Luna, Artemis, and Diana, sore at being thrown out by CereCere, watch in astonishment as Phobos and Deimos spring to their master's defense. The crows shatter their way into the mirrors, strike Tiger's Eye, take human form, and press the Mars Crystal on Rei. She rises as Super Sailor Mars, receives the Mars Arrow, and with Mars Flame Sniper destroys Tiger's Eye and the Mirror House, saving her friends as the frustrated Amazoness Quartet begins planning anew.

Naoko Takeuchi authored and drew the chapter. It debuts Helios and the guardian crows Phobos and Deimos in their human forms, along with the Mars Crystal, the Mars Arrow, and the Mars Flame Sniper attack.
